Neoseiulus californicus in Preventative Sachets
Low Effort. High Coverage. Built for Prevention.
When heat spikes, humidity dips, and pests still show up, Neoseiulus californicus doesn’t flinch. These slow-release sachets are loaded with a mix of eggs, nymphs, and adult mites, providing consistent suppression of spider mites, broad mites, red mites, rust mites, and more.
Built for prevention, these sachets deploy steadily over 2–4 weeks, keeping pest populations in check before they gain momentum. With a comfort zone ranging from 50–105°F and 40–80% humidity, N. californicus is one of the most adaptable mites in your toolbox.

Early-stage control of multiple mite species
